My letter to the Queen

[queeg]

Dear Liz

I want to take this opportunity as a subject of the rebelious collonies to appologize for the really shabby way we ran out your armies and sort of thought ourselves to be capable of governing ourselves. George III was a real pisser, and I suppose if we had just waited we probably would have gotten on better with George IV or William IV.

Well its all water under the bridge or what not by now.

Any way I really wanted to make the point that I think we have really stepped in it this time. Its really come to the point that it has become obvious that we are unable to govern ourselves, and well, we always said this democracy thing was just an experiment anyway, so let's just toss this one out as a bad batch, and say we tried and didn't end up with a good mix.

So can you please take this as an opportunity to come on back if we promise to be really good this time?

Maybe Camilla can be the dutchess of Nebraska or something, it's really an ok place.

Sincerely

A Rebellious Colonist.

2. LOL ... Duchess of Nebraska!

It's almost tempting to contemplate readmittance to the British Empire, considering what we've got now.

We're going to be the boss of you.

4. I figure we will get our ass kicked

By cannucks for a couple of years just for being bad for well---230 years. then after a bit and we get some state parliaments and what not set up we can go back to the way things were. or maybe Canada just sort of absorbs us since Canada is sort of treated like appendage states as it is now.

As long as I don't have to learn french---eh

5. You'll pick up packaging French by osmosis

You read the French on your cereal box on the morning, try and guess what it says. Then you read the English to see how close you were.
